| Abstract |
A collection of papers on the following topics: the epidemiological significance of mineral fibre persistence in lung tissue; biopersistence of man-made vitreous silicate fibres in the lung; chrysotile biopersistence in the lungs of persons in the general population and exposed workers; influence of particle size and chemical composition on efficiency of clearance mechanisms; lung content analysis of cases occupationally exposed to chrysotile asbestos; environmental asbestotic pleural plaques in northeast Corsica; retention of asbestos fibres in the human body; comparative analysis of inhaled particles contained in human bronchoalveolar lavage fluids, lung parenchyma and lymph nodes; fibre levels and disease in workers from a factory predominantly using amosite; biopersistence of the mineral matter of coal mine dusts in silicotic human lungs; biopersistence of nonfibrous mineral particles in the respiratory tracts of subjects following occupational exposure. |
